ATTACHMENT FOR PRINTIIJG-CASE STANDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 34:4,927, dated July 6,1.886.

Applieatinn filed January .9, 1886. Serial No. 190,191. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, \VILLIAM V. Turroao, a citizen of the United Statesof America, residing at Clinton, in the county of Clinton and State ofIowa, have invented certain new and usefulImprovementsin Attachments forPrint ing-Gase Stands, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention consists of a device adapted to be attached to a printersstand, and constructcd to hold the upper type-case in a position nearerto the compositor than the position of the upper-case on the ordinaryprinters stand, as hereinafter fully set forth and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of my new type-caseprojector. Fig. 2 is a perspective illustrating the application of theprojector to aprinters stand with the upper and lower type-eases intheir relative posi tions.

The projector may be constructed of any suitable material and in anydesirable form which may be adapted for the purpose, the principle ofthe invention not depending upon the particular construction herein setfort-h, which consists of an iron frame having a flat straightbase-plate, a, supporting ends b b, and top plate, 0. The base-plate isprovided with holes a, to receive the screws which fasten the projectorto the stand A, as shown in the drawings. an extension, D whichterminates in an up wardly-inclined end, 0. The ends I) b may be madeany required length, so as to raise the upper-ease G to any heightdesired.

The body of the projector is constructedto extend from the back of thelower-ease B to The top plate is constructed with the back of the stand.The extension b of the 40 projector extends beyond the end I) and overthe back of the lower-case far enough to place the front edge of theupper-ease, when properly adjusted, on the projectors in line with theback ends of the rear compartments of the low- 5 ercase. One of theseprojectors is attached at each end on the back portion of the stand, andthe upper-case is placed on the projectors, with its front edge restingagainst the upwardly-inclined ends 0, which hold the casein position onthe projectors, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, and thus theupper-case is placed nearer to the compositor than a case placed ontheordinary printers stand, and hence the distance traveled by the handand the time andlabor required in setting and distributing the type arecorrespondingly lessened.

WVhat I claim as new is 1. The combination, with a printing case stand,A, and the upper type-case, O, of a 6;) type-case projector adapted tobe attached to the stand and to support the upper-casein the projectedposition, substantially as and for the purposes described.

2. The type-case projector consisting of a frame having a base-plate,(1, adapted to be attached to a printers stand, supporting ends I) b,and top plate, 0, having the extension b" and the upwardly-inclined end0, in combination with a printers stand, A, and upper and lower cases, BG, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
